June 2008 Grocery Challenge

Squirmy

hugs to mrs m and to anyone else needing them at the moment.

Well i have £10 left to spend this month, and it looks like i might go over Havent done as well as I would have liked I think lack of planning hasn't helped. Will definately plan better for next month. I've been doing a weekly shop and writing a list but still seem to be spending lots of money on food, even when i buy value things. I do find Quorn products quite expensive so try and buy shops own veggie products if I can but otherwise everything else I buy is relatively cheap - i just dont get it!!

Oh well I'll just have to try and do better next month! :rolleyes:

Thankyou sooooo much for your kind thoughts everyone :blushing:

Its so difficult being out here -at least when we were posted in Suffolk we knew we could get back in 3hrs if need be... out here its "shall i shan't i?" so i have decided now is the time... she is due to start more chemo on monday..moved from this monday -but i can't see her being strong enough to take it...
She is keeping very quiet about the prognosis... so when i turn up..so she doesn't think we have gone back specially to see her and panic or feel awful-Im telling her hubby is on standby for the army motorbike riders who are at Donnington -nudge nudge wink wink.. we are in Nottinghamshire so its plausible
As much as anything im hoping to keep mum sane.... my mama fell yesterday so she is at the other end of the hospital and mum is running herslef raggid.. and so i hope to take some of the strain there..and then there is my sisters 17year old....we are so close so im hoping to be a release for her too.. oooh ekk im of giving my life story out again sorry folks

Denise... that cake is made and in the oven thankyou very much :T .. well i got a little carried away..as you do ... had 5 nanas to use so i decided to double the mix :eek: hmmmm nana cake anyone ?:rotfl: I made a couple of changes..rather than make the lemon drizzle bit i used the lemon juice to let the mix down instead of milk and threw in 100g of sweetened desicated coconut mmmm... i have put it in a bigger tin... but me thinks its gonna be a whopper ..should be cooked by bed time i reckon :rotfl: and if its a bit stodgy when its done i will use it warm with cream mmmmmmm
So that has used the 5 nanas, 6 eggs and a lemon i wanted to get rid of:T .. oooohh you are a wonderful lot:D

Thanks for the offer Angelnikki... I have the new list saved to a file at the moment so will keep adding on as i go... trying to keep myself occupied..but if i find im getting in a tangle i will take you up on your lovely offer ..thankyou soo much
right i will get off and leave you in peace...for now
